The Extreme Princess

Chapter 122 37

When the two of them passed through a layer of barrier, they were stunned on the spot.

On the street, piles of white bones were gathered together, almost covering the entire street.

Many people in uniform were constantly moving in and out of the house, and countless bones were being carried out of the house.

The only remaining trace of blood color on Gu Yue's face completely disappeared at this moment, and her heart seemed to skip a beat.

"If I hadn't activated the magic circle..."

Gu Yue's lips trembled and her whole heart seemed to stop beating.

"Junior sister..."

Seeing that Gu Yue was not in a good state, Yuan Lu quickly reached out and grabbed her arm. When she was about to speak to comfort her, a light scolding voice suddenly sounded beside them.

"How did you get in? Get out now!"

A middle-aged man in uniform stepped forward quickly and frowned, saying, "This area is temporarily under the control of the City Lord's Mansion. No unauthorized persons are allowed to enter. Get out of here!"

Facing the middle-aged man's expulsion, Gu Yue turned a deaf ear, her eyes still fixed on the piles of bones on the street.

Yuan Lu, who was standing by, looked slightly grim, and shouted softly, "Get out of the way!"

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, and a murderous aura began to emanate from his body.

Seeing that the other party had some intention of taking action, Yuan Lu's face darkened completely, and a spiritual power quietly burst out from her palm.

"Wu Hao, step back!"

Neither of them was willing to give in. As they were confronting each other, a man with sagging skin on his face trotted over and hurriedly shouted to stop the man.

The middle-aged man still had a fierce look on his face, and he turned around and looked at the person who came over with confusion.

The elderly man cast an apologetic look at Yuan Lu and the others, then turned around and scolded, "We don't need you here anymore, go back to the City Lord's Mansion and wait for orders!"

"Can..."

"Ok?"

The man's face suddenly darkened. The middle-aged man's heart trembled when he saw this. His whole body was relaxed. He clasped his fists and accepted the order with a look of reluctance, saying: "I will take my leave..."

After saying this, the man turned around and left without even looking at Yuan Lu and the others.

After the man left, the old man couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and bowed to Gu Yue and said: "I am Yuchi Kaiming, the captain of the eighth guard of the City Lord's Mansion, and I am honored to meet you two..."

When Gu Yue fought Bai Chengyu alone yesterday and killed him, Yuchi Kaiming was not far away and witnessed the "impossible" victory with his own eyes.

Seeing Gu Yue here at this time, it seemed that his men had a conflict with the other party. He was so scared that his legs were shaking and he hurried over in a hurry.

Yuan Lu glanced at the man in front of her, retracted her spiritual power, and said calmly: "We are just taking a walk, don't bother us anymore!"

"Understood. I'll give the order right away..."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of venting his anger on him, the old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, gave a promise, and quickly turned and left.

In fact, Yuchi Kaiming had thought about it. This was actually a great opportunity. If he could establish some relationship with the two people in front of him, it might bring great wealth to the Yuchi family.

But Gu Yue was not in a good condition at the moment, and anyone who was not blind could see that. Compared to that illusory chance, he was more worried that he would make things worse and bring himself into a huge disaster!

"Junior sister, let's change places..."

After Yuchi Kaiming left, Yuan Lu grabbed Gu Yue's arm and wanted to take her away from here. She was afraid that if she stayed here for too long, Gu Yue's Taoist faith would really collapse completely.

If this is true, it would not be surprising if Gu Yue went astray and could not control the Yuan Dan in his body, and exploded and died.

Gu Yue said nothing, just shook her head slightly and walked forward.

Yuan Lu frowned slightly, and a ball of spiritual power appeared in the palm of her hand.

She was considering whether to resort to some violent means to forcibly take Gu Yue away from here!

"Heart disease needs heart medicine. If she wants to break through the heart barrier, she can only rely on herself. All you have to do is believe in her..."

Behind Gu Yue, Yuan Lu's eyes gradually became firm. When she was about to take action, an old voice sounded in Yuan Lu's mind.

"senior..."

Yuan Lu's hand movements suddenly paused, and the spiritual power in her palms slowly dissipated. After a little thought, Yuan Lu sighed lightly and quickly followed Gu Yue's pace.

As the two of them crossed one street and alley after another, even Yuan Lu, who had been trying to keep herself out of the matter, felt a wave of palpitations, and her body seemed to be shrouded in a chill.

"Three hundred and seventy thousand..."

When the two men walked out of the last slightly 'crowded' alley, against the backdrop of the setting sun, the clouds floating high in the sky seemed to be burning like flames, and seemed to be dyed red by endless blood.

Gu Yue dragged her staggering body to a raised bluestone slab beside the path, then bent down and sat down tremblingly.

When Yuan Lu heard the number from Gu Yue's mouth, her heart trembled violently.

Although Gu Yue had lost all her spiritual power, her consciousness was still there. After the tragedy, the people in the City Lord's Mansion spent a whole day sorting out the bones of all the victims, and could only gather them together and discuss how to deal with them on another day.

"Sister, 370,000 people died because of my decision..."

At this time, Yuan Lu had roughly guessed what Gu Yue had done.

Seeing Gu Yue like this, her eyes were full of disappointment and heartache, "Junior Sister, why are you also trapped in this situation of worrying about nothing..."

"Are you just making trouble for yourself?"

Gu Yue shook her head, with a bitter smile on her lips.

"Taking the blame for others' mistakes on yourself is just a waste of time."

Yuan Lu said softly: "It was the people of Tiansha Sect who defied the world and caused the current situation with their cruel means. If I were you, I would definitely not take the blame on myself!"

Gu Yue lowered her head and said nothing.

She doesn't understand the truth...

In fact, she knew where the problem lay.

She has the memory of two lives.

In her previous life, perhaps because the world she lived in, or more precisely her country, was too peaceful and human rights were supreme, she had never seen such a scene before.

And more than 300,000 people, more than 300,000 lives, were instantly wiped out because of one decision, and maybe not even their souls were left behind...

What she learned in her previous life hardly helped her at all in this world.

However, now because of his character in his previous life, he has found himself in this predicament.

Gu Yue could only smile bitterly. She couldn't find any other emotion to express her feelings at the moment...

Yuan Lu took a step forward and gently held Gu Yue's head in her arms, "What you guessed before has come true..."

Gu Yue nodded gently, "Mother-in-law saw through my heart, so I made this trip to Donghua City!"

"But what does it matter if you know?"

"Three hundred and seventy thousand lives in exchange for my growth?"

"Am I worthy?"

"Are they willing?"

It seemed as if he was asking for an answer, but also as if he was muttering to himself.

In Yuan Lu's arms, Gu Yue was already in tears.
